Not an easy love : chapter 5
The first thing I heard when I woke up was the sound of the birds singing next to my window. It has always been a relaxing sound to me. They seemed free, something I loved. I sighed, turned around and realized that I was on some soft fabric. Nothing like the wood or the basement. It seemed like a... bed?
My eyes opened rapidly. I could easily see that I was in my bedroom, at my parent's house. I was in shocked. The last think I remembered was falling in the wood. Was it real? Was it a dream? Suddenly, I felt cold arms wrapped themselves around my body. And the smell... It was a sent I could never forget. Cinnamon, honey, it smelled like... Alec.
I turned my head to my left and I was granted by his beautiful face. His eyes were a deep red, his brown hairs were messy, but he was still handsome, like always.
''Is this a dream?'' I murmured, trying not to make myself some expectations that was false.
He laughed and I realized how deeply I missed that sound. It was another of my favorite sounds in the world.
''No honey, you are not dreaming'' He said, his fingers brushing my cheek. I gasped at the moment our skins make contact. It was real.
''I'm home?''
He nodded, smiling once again and I sighed of relief. I couldn't believe it.
''How are you feeling?'' he asked, his hand still caressing my cheek.
''Dizzy, my head hurts, but I'm great, I mean I'm with you. How did... how did you found me?''
He sighed, turned himself on his back, a hand behind his head while his other arm was still firmly around me.
''For hours, Demetri wasn't able to found any of you sent. I thought I was going crazy. But suddenly, we don't know how, but he was able to track you and we found you in the wood.'' He said, looking at me sadly. ''You were in a really bad shape, it took hours to have your bruises gone.''
''Hours?! How long was I out?''
''Two days.''
I was shocked, really. It didn't feel that long to me. But I guessed when you are unconscious, time was flying much faster than you can imagine.
''Renesmee, what happened?'' He asked. I knew this was the question he was dying to ask me since I was awake. Like everyone of my family. Actually, I was certain they were in the living room, listening to our conversation.
''It was a group of men. They said they are half vampire, half children of the moon. At first, I thought they were bluffing, but they are strong, fast, and they have the werewolf eyes, a bright yellow.''
I looked up at Alec who was in deeply concentration, a frown on his face. I could tell he wasn't liking what I was saying.
''Is it possible?''
He sighed once again.
''I never heard of anything like that. But why not? There's so many creatures that we didn't think would exist and there they are.''
''Like me.'' I replied. I knew I was one of the creature the world couldn't imagine twelve years ago.
''Yes, but you are the most beautiful creature out there.'' He said and his lips finally meet mine. It was the moment I dreamed about for months and all the time I was in this basement. To finally be with Alec again. I couldn't live without him.
''I love you'' He said, once the kiss was broken.
''I love you too, more than anything. ''
We rested in each other arms a few moment, enjoying the silence. I could stay like that hours, just feeling the contact of his skin against mine.
''It was quite a five years anniversary I would say.'' I laughed, trying to make the ambiance less tense.
'' It is only a do over.'' He replied and I smiled.
A knock on the door interrupted our conversation. My father opened the door, my mother right behind him. A second later, both of their arms were around me.
''I'm so happy darling.'' My mother said, sobbing. ''I thought we lost you.''
''I know, but I'm here now.''
''Come downstairs if you feel okay, there are a lot of people who wanna see you.'' My father said after he gave me at his turn a hug and a kiss on the forehead.
I followed my parents downstairs, Alec just behind me. My entire family was there, waiting for me. I passed in each other arms. I received hugs, kisses, cries. I was crying also. I was afraid I would never see them again. It's when you are away from the persons that you love that you realize just how much you love them. After everyone came to give me a hug, what I saw shocked me. Not just Demetri, Felix and Jane were there, but Aro, Renata, Santiago and some other guards I didn't know the names. I never thought they will be there.
''My dear Renesmee'' Aro said, slowly walking toward me. ''You gave us quite a panic here, I'm glad to see that you are back home and well.''
''Yes, I am, thank you, Aro.'' I responded smiling. He wasn't bad like everyone of my family thinks he is. We may not be best friends, but I respected him.
''But we got an issue. Some children of the moon and vampires creatures you say?'' Aro said. There were no emotion in his voice like he was trying to keep the conversation like a normal one, but I knew it wasn't.
''That was the man said. We can't be sure, but they were something I never saw before.''
''Do you mind?'' He asked, putting his hand in front of me.
Of course he would like to see what they look like in his own eyes. I put my hand in his, he closed his eyes for only a couple of seconds before opened them again. His face wasn't like I expected. I thought he would be worried maybe, or showing no emotion at all, like always. But he was surprised. And then I remembered the mysterious way I throw away the men with my mind. I forgot about it for a moment, but it was indeed quite shocking. It was what I felt when I used it the two times. Curiously, he didn't say anything about it, and just started talking about theses creatures.
''I never saw something like that either.'' He said, frowning. ''I never imagine it could happened. I mean half-vampire, half-human, yes, but werewolf are the first enemy of the vampire. Why would anyone wanna reproduce with them?''
''For power.'' Alec said, standing right behind me.
''Yes, power is a great motive for a lot of actions.'' Aro sighed. I knew that he was talking about all the things he did himself for power. ''I can tell they won't stop until they achieved what they want. Which is, killing us all and ruled the world.''
Nobody said anything but I could tell they were worried. Aro walked slowly around the room, every eyes were following all of his movements.
''I believe there's only one option left.'' He sighed.
''What is it?'' I asked.
Everyone was silent. Aro was the one who made decisions and I was quite anxious to figure out what was inside of his mind. It could be anything.
''We all go back to Volterra, us and the Cullen, and we all prepared for the biggest war ever. ''
